You dont have to tidy up for viewing, they cant make you. You shouldnt lie about the property but neither do you have to avoid pointing out it's faults. You can refuse viewings unless it's spelt out in your lease.

Oh, and during the viewings, if it's an investor, tell them you're a good long term tenant etc... And if a first time buyer, tell them it's an awful road and you've only just fixed the rodent problem.....

As others have pointed out, quite rightly, best not to lie during viewings.

You can always act sheepish and state "no comment" if asked about the local area or something else. You're not lying. But are casting plenty of seeds of doubt in the mind of the person who asked.

Can I refuse viewing for sale of the property whilst I live there? Only issue now landlord may not renew our contract after the term as we trying to limit to once a week as getting into arguments which having an effect on our daily life as constant stress of viewings and tidying house

It is your home; you can live in it how you wish as long as you do not damage the LL's property.
You do not have to tidy before a viewing; you may want to arrange to be eating a curry or similar, or maybe have your children's friends over to play, etc, when a viewing is due (toys everywhere), if the time does not suit you but they insist on coming.
